The OnePlus Open is an excellent foldable that received four out of five stars in its Digital Trends review, but the time is coming for a new version. While OnePlus hasn’t officially announced the OnePlus Open 2, there have been hints about the Oppo Find N5, a device that is expected to be rebranded to the OnePlus Open 2 once it hits global markets.

The Oppo Find N5 has entered its testing phase, and we have an idea of what the internals might look like. The N5 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, is IPX8 waterproof, has better battery life, and supports wireless charging. According to Digital Chat Station on Weibo, it might just be the only Android flagship phone that folds.

If this information proves accurate, then the biggest takeaway is the inclusion of wireless charging — a feature that was sorely missing from the original OnePlus Open. The water resistance is also a nice bonus, especially considering the original only sported an IPX4 resistance rating.

The leaker also says the phone has a 50-megapixel telephoto camera, while other, prior leaks suggest the phone might have a triple-camera setup on the rear. The first OnePlus Open comes with a $1,700 price tag, so we expect a pretty hefty expense on this newer model, too — but if the OnePlus Open 2 fixes all of the issues with the first model, that price could be well worth it.

The idea that the Oppo Find N5 is the next OnePlus makes a lot of sense. The original OnePlus Open is named the Oppo Find N3 in China, and the country’s phone manufacturers tend to avoid the number four in marketing for cultural reasons. As such, it makes sense that the Oppo Find N5 would be the next OnePlus Open. Leaks have targeted the first quarter of 2025 as a potential launch period for this new phone, so a global release would likely come after that.

Your OnePlus 13 case comes with something odd you shouldn’t throw away
The wireless charging insert that comes with the OnePlus 13's case.

If you buy an official case for your OnePlus 13, you’ll find something unexpected in the box. It’s a sliver of flexible plastic, shaped like something you hang on a hotel room door when you don’t want the maid to come in, and although your first instinct will be to throw it away with the rest of the packaging, don’t do it.

You may end up needing it.
